Chapter 430: Suspicious Soldiers
Aoto Jitaro nodded, to be honest, the sound of gunfire came from the other end of the phone from the inner yellow defenders, and the other party had at least ten or more infantry guns.
The artillery fire was fierce, and the devil defenders in the inner yellow couldn't stand it.
There was only one squadron and less than a thousand Imperial Allied troops defending Neihuangcheng, and in the face of so many enemy attacks and artillery bombardment, there was no possibility of holding Neihuangcheng at all.
Thinking of this, Jitaro Aoto also felt helpless! can only order the defenders of Inner Huangcheng to defend to the death, and delay the main force of the enemy's cavalry for more time.
In this way, it is impossible for the main force of the opponent's cavalry to attack the main force of the opponent's cavalry in the south!
At this time, the 35th Division of the Devil had already controlled the eastern and northern Henan regions.
However, Yuankou single-mindedly had only more than 30,000 people of the 35th Division and more than 100,000 imperial troops in his hands, and controlled Kaifeng and the cities along the Longhai line with scattered forces. The rest of the vast small towns and other places only sent a small number of devil troops to supervise the guards of the Imperial Army.
The Japanese army only controlled major towns such as eastern and northern Henan.
At this time, Genguchi Isshin and Aoto Jitaro both felt that it was difficult for the forces in their hands to control such a huge territory!
"Once the Inner Yellow City is lost, it is estimated that the sky will be bright! If I were the cavalry commander of that enemy army, it would most likely be south, south along the Huiji River, straight to Tuocheng, and attack Bozhou in Hui Province! At that time, after the main force of its cavalry can reach Bozhou, it can attack Yongcheng and Suzhou in the east, and Luyi, Huaiyang, Zhoujiakou and Shangshui in the west! Stay away from my main force in Kaifeng and stir up the area of southern Henan! Jitaro Aoto said.
Genguchi looked at the map intently, his eyes solemn! In eastern Henan and its southern Henan area, although the main towns are under the control of devils.
However, the enemy cavalry that suddenly crossed the river from the north bank of the Yellow River was more than 10,000 people, and all the cavalry was maneuvering too fast.
For Yuankou Yixin, who has only one division in his hand and has to divide his troops to control most of the major towns, the main strength of one of his divisions is in the Kaifeng area.
In other places, only the Imperial Allied Army can be stationed with it. As for the vast countryside and other places, the source is also powerless to control.
Thinking of this, Genguchi felt at this time that the empire needed to expand its army and needed more troops to support it.
"There is no better way, let the defenders of Inner Yellow City fight until the last moment. Give a strict order to the defenders of Guide that once the main force of this enemy cavalry moves south, Guide must hold it. Fortunately, to the east of Guide is Xuzhou City, as long as a brigade of reinforcements is stationed in Guide City, Guide will not be able to lose! ”
Seeing this, Aoto Jitaro could only say: "Understand, Your Excellency the division commander." ”。
Aodo Jitaro personally called back the leader of the devil defender squadron in Inner Yellow City, Junichiro Yokota, and strictly ordered him to defend it.
And Genguchi Yixin General frowned and looked at the map on the table of the division headquarters in front of him, the terrain in eastern Henan was flat, suitable for cavalry vertical and horizontal.
This enemy army, which suddenly killed the south from the north bank of the Yellow River, was able to cross the river to the south and sneak attack, which made Yuankou feel that something was wrong.
It stands to reason that there are no longer so many enemy cavalry on the north bank of the Yellow River, whose troops are this?
At this time, Aoto Jitaro walked back with a solemn face and said, "Captain Junichiro Yokota, the leader of the defending squadron of Inner Yellow City, replied that their squadron headquarters was already under the attack of the enemy. The enemy army besieging the city seems to be the troops of the Eighth Route Army! And the artillery fire is fierce, with a large number of light and heavy machine guns! There were also submachine guns in close combat, and one of Junichiro Yokota's squadrons focused on defending the north gate, and in less than five minutes they were completely covered by the enemy's artillery fire, with heavy casualties! Now, there is no response on the other end of the phone, Your Excellency the Division Commander. ”。
"It seems that Inner Yellow City is about to be lost at this time!"
Yuankou Yi's face was gloomy, and the speed at which the Inner Yellow City was lost was too fast.
It's still half an hour before dawn.
And this half an hour is enough for the other party to go south, along the Huiji River to Tuocheng, Bozhou and attack south.
After all, it is far away from the seal, and it is also suitable for cavalry, and as the source of control of the eastern Henan area, once the eastern Henan area is turned upside down by the other party, it will be very troublesome.
"Send a message to Guide City, and let them strengthen their guards! Urge the aviation troops in Xuzhou to take off the fighters and go north to reconnoiter along the Longhai Line! We need to lock down the direction of the enemy's main cavalry attack next! ”
Genguchi can only give such an order, after all, the other party is a cavalry, and the mobility is very strong!
There are not many cavalry units in the 35th Division, only a cavalry wing of 950 people, which is even if the cavalry is sent out to chase the main cavalry of the enemy. If you're not careful, you'll be eaten.
After all, the opponent's cavalry has more than 10,000 people!
"Understood, Your Excellency the Division Commander!" Aoto Jitaro nodded, waved his hand and motioned to the devil communication staff officer on the side to do it immediately.
And Yuankou Yixin looked at the map, and the main towns on it were all targeted by Li Yunlong's cavalry, and it was even possible.
If the opponent is an infantry unit, Genguchi has the ability to trap them.
It's just that the other party is actually all cavalry, which makes Genguchi feel very difficult.
Unless, there are devil troops who can hold back the main force of the enemy's cavalry, so that the surrounding devil troops can surround and trap them.
It's just that there are too many cavalry on the other side, and with the strength of the Imperial Alliance Army and the Japanese army that Yuankou has mastered wholeheartedly, I'm afraid it can't trap so many cavalry!
Therefore, the cavalry is not useless, in the eastern Henan area, Yuankou Yixin felt very difficult at this time.
And just when Genguchi Yishin and Aoto Jitaro in Kaifeng City frowned.
Inner Yellow City, the fierce battle is completely over!
It must be said that Junichiro Yokota finally chose to gather the Imperial Alliance Army and the remnants of the devil soldiers to try to break through, after all, fighting in the streets, looking at the opponent's large number of light machine guns and submachine guns, and the advantage of melee firepower.
Junichiro Yokota directly commanded the remnants of the army to go to the east gate of Huangcheng inward, and as for not breaking through to the south, it was because Junichiro Yokota knew that it was impossible to escape from the pursuit of the opponent's cavalry if he broke through along the railway south.
It's just that it can't break through to the east, and the small Inner Yellow City has been surrounded by Zhang Dabiao's first brigade!
It took less than fifteen minutes to attack Neihuang City, and the devils and the Imperial Association army in the whole city were blocked in the city and annihilated.
Among them, Junichiro Yokota, the leader of the Huangcheng garrison squadron in the devil's house, was killed on the spot by the soldiers of the 1st Brigade on the road on the side of the East City Gate, and most of the Imperial Allied Army was annihilated, and a few were captured!
Li Yunlong and the others did not enter the city, but waited for Zhang Dabiao to lead his troops into the city to clean up the battlefield, and all the men and horses gathered and prepared to evacuate Neihuangcheng.
"Divisional commander, it's already 6:35 in the morning. There will be half an hour before dawn, where are we going to hit next? After pointing to the map laid out by Wei Dayong, Shen Qun spoke up.
At this time, Zhang Dabiao, Ma Wenhai and other major commanders gathered around!
Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said: "Guide can't be beaten, but after dawn, the devil's reconnaissance plane will definitely come out to conduct reconnaissance!" We need to divert the attention of the devil reconnaissance plane and deploy a few suspicious soldiers! ”。
